Best Show of 2009
- N.A.S.A. at Emo’s Annex during SXSW. Wild dance party, dancing on stage with Orion slave girls and aliens, high fiving the DJs, being escorted off stage by security, and hanging out backstage. All around aces. (read about it)
Most Anticipated for 2010
- Basia Bulat – Heart of My Own (Rough Trade); even though I’ve got it and have been rocking it for a while
Most Overrated of 2009
- Passion Pit. F’real.
Best Music Memory
- Spending an entire day in a VIP lounge at SXSW making friends, drinking free drinks, eating free food, schmoozing with hotshots, hanging with An Horse and Langhorne Slim, running out to go catch Fight Like Apes and sneaking in the rest of the PW crew. Bar none the greatest music day of 2009.
Here’s to an even better 2010. Have a safe, fun and exciting New Year’s Eve!
